Bride And Groom Hopped On The Dance Floor With Their Boots

When Trent and Annalisa Brookshier got married in 2013, they made sure to shock their wedding guests. The two changed their outfits and hopped on the dance floor with their dancing boots. 

With Blake Shelton‘s “Footloose” blaring through the speakers, Trent kicked things off with his solo dance that got everyone on their feet, cheering for the dancing groom – who suddenly even did a perfect backflip.

They’ve performed different killer spins and jumps before inviting the entire crowd to take center stage and finish the dance with them.
